BLAPP is an application for Android that makes it easy for users to find various businesses and local stores owned by Black Americans.
Search and buy
The app is accompanied with a comprehensive map that needs access to a mobile device location to work properly. Once the permission is enabled, users can browse a list of black-owned services nearby. It is possible to browse any shop, store, cafe and salon to check its services and products as well as get to their official websites for additional information.
Each item comes with a short description and main image that allows you to learn about it more before buying. Once you make a decision of going to one of the available on the map places, you can create a fast yet safe route to get there. You may also use a third party app called Waze to know about road repairs or incidents and avoid them if you are driving a car.
Categories
There is a wide range of categories from barbershops to electricians. The full list is available in an appropriate section. You can click on each group and find interesting offers. The utility allows you to divide locations by their products type, distance and services for ease of navigation.
